(Add more for the "Huo Quan" brother [16/20])

"Lord, are you going back?"

In the luxurious carriage that left the territory of the wolf venom, Lord Paliano looked at Lord Pa Ying, who was sitting opposite him with his eyes closed, and he whispered:

"Well, in fact, after knowing that you were coming, King Louis asked me to invite you to the Plantagenet Palace for supper."

"When is this all the time, and in terms of human habits, it might be more appropriate to invite me to breakfast."

His Holiness did not keep his eyes open, and said:

"But since the local masters have made invitations, it would be too arrogant for me not to go, but I can't stay too long, so I finally come out, and I have to go to the Castile Elf Kingdom and the Songhai Empire on the way."

"Oh, are you going to talk to the Elven King and the Pharaoh about the defense of the Black Calamity?"

The Rose Knight Paliano grinned and patted his ass and said:

"You're really busy."

"Huh?"

Lord Pa Ying opened his eyes with a strange expression.

The amber pupils glanced at Paliano, and he whispered:

"It's not about business.

I just heard that the Elven King had found a nice work of art thirty years ago and wanted to see it, and that the Pharaoh was going to celebrate his birthday in a few months, and King Tutammont had sent me an invitation, but the Black Plague made it impossible for me to take time to congratulate me at that time.

Okay, I could have stopped by to talk to those two about the Scourge, but with the lessons from last time, I don't feel like I need to remind them about it.

King Querion and King Tutammont were both very wise rulers.

They can see the threat of the Black Plague and are willing to do anything to it, and in this respect they are much wiser than the kings of humanity. ”

"But this time Nordtov and the Plantagenet Kingdom have done quite well."

Paliano whispered:

"As soon as I arrived, the two kings made a decision as quickly as possible, and now the two countries are already rearing their armaments, and their vanguard is about to enter the southern part of Transencia to assist in the defense.

This is already a hundred times stronger than the prevarication and ignorance in the last black disaster.

But with that said, my lord, I still think we should send more men to Transcia to help the Vulture Clan build a defense.

Their condition is a bit poor, and they may not be able to deal with the black plague.

Even if the Blood Alliance clan can withstand the main force of the gnolls in the Barren Mountains, we will not be able to cover the entire filthy swamp area, and even if only one division enters Transnsia, it will be a disaster for the defense there. ”

"You seem to be underestimating the new regime of the Vulture Clan a little, Paliano."

The Third Lord, Yvette, who sat beside Lord Pa Ying and maintained a cold image peculiar to elves, replied:

"After you left there, what they did on the ground was beyond our expectations, and according to the three reports sent back by my son Leenia, the new Governor of Translasia, Murphy, has shown an unexpectedly active and capable attitude in defending against the Black Plague.

They have completed their cleanup of the gnolls in the Cadman Earldom and are about to start a decisive battle with the gnolls of the Under Armard Hills that will directly determine the ownership of Translasia.

Moreover, they had already reached a preliminary political pact with Nordtov and the Plantagenet Kingdom.

This has been more than we expected, especially since the battle against the Wolf Vanguards at the Crimson Keep a few hours ago."

Lord Yvette flicked his tongue and said in an emotional tone:

"Less than 50 old members of the Blood Vulture Clan, and less than 40 new members of the Bloodstream united the rest of the Blood Servants in the city to fight to the death in the sewers with more than 300 elite wolf venom vanguards.

They annihilated the Greypaw faction at a costly death, defending their territory and regaining their dignity.

My heirs were involved in the whole process.

She wrote a lot about the bravery and aggressiveness of the Blood Vulture Clan, praising it as the first bravery of the Blood Clan, and I don't think Reynia's description is exaggerated, and being able to play this battle damage ratio already shows that the Blood Vulture has been reborn in the disaster. ”

"There's nothing to say about it."

Paliano waved his hand and said:

"They have a Scarlet Witch who has regained her strength, and that is a rare genius psionist in our clan, and she alone is enough to destroy the wolf venom vanguard who is not good at psionics."

"Hehe, stupid wisdom!"

Yvette scoffed:

"What if I told you that Grand Duke Tris didn't go to war at all?

She didn't even enter the sewers, and the entire battle was led from start to finish by the trio of Governor Murphy, Countess Femis, and Count White Mountain of the Thorn Clan.

As an ancient inheritance family, the Blood Vulture obviously knows how to get back their lost face with dignity, and their victory tonight is enough to be passed down as a good story. ”

"Tracey didn't go to war?"

Paliano's eyes widened, and he said:

"It can't be! Although the beautiful Murphy is very talented and courageous, he is only a swordsman of the Black Iron Rank, and even if the Lord helps Countess Philimis enter the Silver Rank, their basic strength is still insufficient, and it is impossible for them to be the opponent of an elite faction that has existed for decades.

What's more, in the sewers, the vulture's advantage is limited, and it is the favorite closed battlefield of wolf venom, which can unleash their wildness and brutality to the maximum. ”

"They alone won't work."

Ms. Yvette waved her hand and said:

"Leania has reported to me that the Witch Hunters have joined the fray at the height of the fighting, and that the ordinary people of the Crimson Keep seem to be a source of power for Murphy.

It's hard to imagine what kind of spell that little Murphy used to trick the witch hunters into fighting for him? More importantly, how did he give cowardly civilians courage in the face of a brutal person like Wolf Venom?

Could it be that Sister Triss has developed some strange mind spell?

She's really good at it. ”

"It is the charm of personality and the art of domination."

Re-closing his eyes, Lord Pa Ying waved his hand and said:

"If it's just the help of civilians, it can be understood as spell bewitchment, but the whole battle between the witch hunters and the Thorn Clan will not be so simple.

As I recall, Leenia was ordered to assist the Vulture Clan in establishing defenses and training armies, and given her cold and arrogant nature as a Moon Elf, it was impossible for her to actively participate in the feud between the Vulture and the Wolf Venom.

In other words, the Murphy Lord convinced her.

Even if there was an element of the Wolf Venom Clan's violation of tradition, the fact that he was able to convince a stubborn moon elf with words was a testament to Murphy's talent for uniting others.

He was undoubtedly a good lord, and he knew how to make good use of all the power available to him.

He even took in witch hunters who had nowhere else to go.

It's like a miracle that doesn't sit too small. ”

"Lord, your evaluation is a bit too high, isn't it?"

Yvette snorted dissatisfied.

She seemed to fade away from the arrogance of the elf in an instant, and like a goblin, she stretched out her hand and lay on the shoulders of the lord, half of her body hung beside the lord of Pa Ying, pouted and said like a coquette:

"You haven't said that about me, even though I've given everything I have to you"

"Aside from your loyalty, I'll try to keep away as much as you can from anything else you want to give me."

Lord Pa Ying stretched out his hand to push Yvette away, and he said in the same tone:

"And I'm just telling you the truth, this son of Triss is very different from our people, and I've heard a lot of praise from little Phemis that shouldn't be used on vampires.

I think this little guy might be able to surprise us in our backwater Bloodline society.

Now that he has the Vultures and Thorns and our knights in his realm, the relationship between the three clans seems to be quite good for now.

Perhaps, I should give him a little more help. ”

The Venerable Lord pondered for a moment, and then whispered to the Third Lord beside him:

"Yvette, return to the garrison and travel on my behalf to the Misty Shores to deliver a message to the leader of the Blooddread Fleet, that I need him to send a credible force to Transencia as a force to help the Vulture Clan rebuild the system and shape the Tellancian defenses."

This order stunned both Paliano and Yvette.

Then the Rose Knight whispered:

"Lord, do you mean that the Blooddread Clan's two-hundred-year-old expulsion order is about to be broken?"

"Nope."

Lord Pa Ying whispered:

"Just give them a chance.

The wounds inflicted on the continent by the Blooddread Clan have not yet healed, and it is a sin that they will not be able to wash away, but two hundred years have passed, and they are far away from the continent but they also yearn to return to midnight.

It was a terrible sin that naturally required an equally heavy redemption.

Black Plague

Black plagues aren't all bad.

It creates a level of unity, and of course gives those who bear the burden a chance to be relieved, and if the Blooddread Fleet can show their responsibility in the midst of the crisis, then the continent may welcome them again.

But it's only a possibility. ”

"The Blooddread Clan has been away from the mainland for two hundred years, and it is indeed a very good idea for them to start their first atonement in Transcia, which is in ruins, and I think that the human kingdom will not oppose it under the pressure of the Black Plague."

Paliano applauded:

"Worthy of the Lord! Your wisdom and kindness always shine so brightly and beautifully. ”

"I personally executed their ancient patriarch and exterminated their clan to only 99 people, but you said I was merciful."

Lord Pa Ying sighed and said:

"Paliano, sometimes you really don't talk with your brains"

"Haha"

The Rose Knight smiled awkwardly.

He just wants to pat his own elder's ass, what's wrong with him?

Soon, however, Paliano asked another question, whispering:

"Do you really believe old Edward's defense? To be honest, I don't believe it. ”

"Believe it or not is not the key issue, he is wavering but still on our side, and that is enough."

Lord Pa Ying did not want to discuss this issue, and he said casually:

"I don't know how much my old brother remembers, but I guess he is certainly not as ignorant as he appears, however, the more he remembers, the more dangerous his situation becomes.

Those ancient memories are like the temptation of demons

It's more like a door, once you find the key, you can't help but want to open it, even if you know that there's something hidden behind the door that you can't touch.

Oksana is like that, Charlemagne is like this, and so is Salekdal.

Alas, the original sin.

It's a weight we can't bear, but we're going to carry it until the day of fate, Eden. Where we start and where we end. ”

Lord Pa Ying said things that should not be heard.

But Paliano and Yvette acted as if they hadn't heard anything, apparently because the Lord knew that these ancient secrets could not be casually revealed, so they used a little "power".

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the carriage, and after a few minutes, the third lord, Yvette, asked in a low voice:

"It is said that the wrongdoer has two daughters who left Greeney with the last of the Greypaws two days ago.

Lord, maybe we should cut the grass and eradicate the roots?

I'd love to have a relaxing and enjoyable hunt. ”

"Is their destination Transnesia?"

Lord Pa Ying asked.

Evie nodded and said:

"According to our eyes within the Wolf Venom Clan, it does."

"Then let them go."

The Venerable Lord said in a casual tone:

"Lord Murphy is the winner, and it's his power to deal with the loser, well, I'm getting more and more curious about this peculiar little guy.

Perhaps in the midst of the black plague, I will be able to meet this clansman who has been praised by everyone.

Maybe I should do something to prepare for this? ”

——

"What did you say?"

At dawn of the long night, when Murphy returned to the Vulture Corridor with his tired body and a bag full of wolf venom hearts, he was confronted by the archer, Lady Leenia, who had been waiting for her, and received unexpected news from her.

"Who do you say Pa Yingzun wants to ask to come to Transcia to help?"

"The Blooddread Fleet, to be exact, the Blooddread Clan."

The Knight of the Archer was clearly at a loss for this order.

After all, the Blooddread Clan has been expelled from the continent's vampire circle for a full 200 years, and for some nascent vampires, that's almost a legendary name.

She reported to Murphy:

"Lord Pa Ying asked the Blood Dread Fleet to send a strong force to Telencia to assist in the defense, just as the Thorn Clan sent the White Mountain faction to help.

The Lord has also ordered you to command the 'Atonement Army', and will not hesitate to use them to pay for the calamities brought to the mainland by the Blooddread Clan 200 years ago.

This may be the grace of the Lord, and it means that the expulsion order of the Blooddread Clan is about to be revoked. ”

"I'm not a trash can here!"

Murphy was not happy, but said with a headache:

"It's been a struggle just to reconcile the Thorn Clan and the Blood Vulture Clan, the two families are very different in terms of habits and cultural traditions, and you weird, stereotypical, warlike and conservative Blood Alliance knights are getting into trouble from time to time.

Tiny Transcia has gathered three clans!

If you count the wolf venom that we just killed, that's four! Now the Lord is going to let a group of vampire pirates who have been out of the continent for 200 years come to join in the fun!

What was he going to do?

Is it a vampire family to play in Translasia? Why didn't he release the Mad Blood Clan that had been sealed in the Land of Holy Blood?

Wouldn't it be better?

Let's establish a vampire church on the ruins of Translasia, and I'll be the head of the Holy See, shall we?

It's outrageous!

I respect Lord Pa Ying, really, although I haven't met him, I respect him, but this time his decision was really a little too careless.

I'm the lord here.

I'm not playing at home! ”

"But the Lord took your side and rebuked the Wolf Venom Clan, and asked Old Edward to send you and Grand Duke Tris a gift as a temporary reconciliation."

Leenia emphasizes:

"This is the kindness of the Lord, he didn't say that you have the right to refuse."

"I'm annoyed!"

Murphy waved his hand and said:

"You go and tell Trisy about this, she's the Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture, and leave this kind of blood diplomacy to her, I still have a lot of trouble here. The failed raid of the Wolf Venom took us a lot of damage, and I don't think the Gnolls would let it go.

Soon, perhaps, the Gnolls of the Under Mar Hills will swarm us and devour us all, Lady Leenia, may your bow be ready.

Now it's time to do the real thing. ”
